Setting HOME to f:\some\path should be enough (assuming your .emacs is
f:\some\path\.emacs).

You can find more info on this in the Gnus FAQ[1], question 3.2 (just
read ~/.emacs instead of ~/.gnus there).

Bye, Reiner.

[1] http://my.gnus.org/faq/ or
    (info "(gnus)[3.2]") if you have Gnus 5.10 installed.
